There are so many reasons why you should avoid this car. They’re in every 
picture you posted. Even if the drivetrain was good, the rusted stuff would 
cause so much grief any time you had to work on it you would be patching stuff 
up left and right just to make it work.

This seems like maybe it’s worth $2k, get it running and either flip it to 
somebody else for a little profit, or just drive it until it falls apart. I 
really would like to get a 4.5 at some point. I have flirted with 108s over the 
years, have been close to deals on decent ones, and had several as parts cars 
or major projects but never a driver. I even had a 109 4.5 once.

He should drive it around town as a moving billboard for his classic car
business.

Re: [MBZ] Rust pics of the 108

There is so much work there it would cost far beyond the restored value to fix 
all that rust. Things like door bottoms, for example, would have to be 
fabricated. Not only that, when rust is that extensive, the potential for 
getting it all and cleaning up the existing metal is near impossible.

This is NOT a good restoration candidate. Not by any sense of the word. It is, 
however, a perfect Okie Acres Back 40 car.

Yeah, not all that great.  This is the car you drive around for a couple
years while saving money to send it to the body shop.
